Welcome to Canterbury! Our Summer Programs strive to provide an environment shaped by adventure, learning, playfulness, and dynamic instructors. It’s also a great opportunity for children to step out of their comfort zones to try something new. There are so many avenues to explore: marine science, arts, robotics, sports, tech, and more! These brief introductions to new worlds are where lifelong passions begin. Here’s to great summer adventures! Mac Hall Head of School
Each summer, we host more than 250 campers to our beautiful campus from across the Tampa Bay area. In August, we welcome many new students, including recent campers, to join us for the “Full Canterbury” experience, which offers a challenging education within a nurturing environment. Small class sizes, unique learning experiences, and a differentiated approach are just a few of the reasons why our families agree that there is #noplacelikeCanterbury. Interested in learning more and seeing our community in action during the school year? Please contact me with any questions or to schedule your tour today.
